Meet The Zwift Triathlon Academy Race Team

We dropped into Specialized HQ in the Bay Area to catch up with the six winners from the Zwift Triathlon Academy. While they prepared for Kona, we thought we’d test their patience with a couple of fun challenges to bring out their competitive sides.

[@marinrodriguez7729]

It would b nice to see all of these companies that sponsor teams and academies actually put money into improving the diversity of the sport.

[@Nikyadair18]

just work harder bro.. coming from another latino..

[@zachbennett3102]

Curious, Do athletes apply for this team or are they chosen by Zwift?

[@gtn]

Hey Zach - the athletes are selected the academy members through a testing process on Zwift, you'll see Zwift Triathlon Academy pop up again on the platform in the coming months 🙂

[@marlonm396]

Science, technology, resources ($$) and a group of elite athletes are their best. Nice!

[@gmccmemberk]

War ja klar, dass der Deutsche beim Lego Basteln gewinnt. 🙂
